I’ve known for a while that Konsole (the KDE shell/terminal program) can do transparent backgrounds on a per-tab basis. I’ve rarely used it due to the slowdown it’s created. However, the $work PC is fairly powerful (dual core, 2 GB RAM), so I turned it on today using the Transparent, Dark Background schema. It’s no slower than a non-transparent Konsole, and I get a bit of a view of my rotating backgrounds (KDE’s backgrounds-as-slideshow feature) as I work on code etc.
Nifty :)
